Luckily, for their own sake the people of Hong Kong aren't cowardly and acquiescing to the loss of their freedom.
Letting China get away with dominating Hong Kong isn't going to do them 1 tiny iota of good long term, if they ever hope to make a stand, the time is now.

- barry-cotter 7y ago> Luckily, for their own sake the people of Hong Kong aren't cowardly and acquiescing to the loss of their freedom. Luckily how? They’re going to lose. If they want freedom they’re going to have to leave China for it, emigrate. All the protest isn’t going to buy them victory. The CPC isn’t going to allow Hong Kong to publicly defeat it; that would be domestically politically disruptive. They’d rather abrogate the one country two systems agreement and just abolish the SAR’s freedoms altogether.

- pishpash 7y agoNah, they don't really think anything will happen to them in HK. While admirable in certain respects, they are not even taking half the risk that Tian'anmen Square students took, hiding behind their masks.
